Your questions about food truck hire in Durlock
Is Durlock close to London?
It is about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Durlock?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How our food truck hire works in Durlock
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for winter staff parties and engagements and anniversaries, with loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Durlock, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Late-September events in Durlock see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
